Once you have installed our program with the help of our Getting Started solution you will have multiple choices.

Start the application

If you haven't clicked on the .exe file do it and you will be ready to start using our awesome backup tool !

1. Add a backup job

If you want to make a backup later you will need a backup job. This section is designed to help you create one.

  • First you need to tell us the name of the backup job you want to create, make it easy to identify it's goal easily !
  • Then you must add the source destination like this : C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Desktop\MySourceFolder
  • The destination where you want the backup to be made, it can be on an external drive, on a shared network or wherever you want it.
  • Finally the type of backup : differential or full. A full backup will copy each and every files / folders while a differential one compares itself to a full and copy only modified files

2. Edit a backup job

If you made any mistake or if you want to modify a backup job you will have to use this section to correct it.

  • You will first need to rewrite the name. Press enter to keep the previous one
  • Then you will have to rewrite the source folder of the backup. Press enter to keep the previous one
  • You now are just 2 steps away from modifying it permanently, you need a new destination folder. Press enter to keep the previous one
  • Finally you have to enter the new type of backup, differential / full. Press enter to keep the previous one

3. Delete a backup job

You may need to delete a backup which doesn't job as you wish or if you aleady have 5 and need another one

  • Just enter the ID of your backup that you can see in the application (1 / 2 / / 4 / 5) and your backup will be deleted.
  • If you were not planning to delete a backup and you pressed it by mistake simply press Ctrl + C or Ctrl + Z to stop the software

0. Execute backup jobs

When you want to start one or multiple backup job

  • Enter each id based, a table associating the name and the id will be displayed to help you.
  • Once you are finished selecting the backup you want you will be prompted to enter for each differential backup a full backup that we need to make our comparisons
